50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Dumont

“Used to be my favorite place and ordered river vale at least 2-3x per week but hadn't ordered for a long time until recently i had craving for their ox tail combo and Cuban sandwich. sadly no more ox tail and both puerco asado shredded pork dish and Cuban pork were so bland and dry and burnt with the pressed bread which was like a stale burnt roll with 1 or 2 pickles..thats it. was disappointed the puerco asado dish didn't even come with rice and beans as was used to be included in the past. and no phone number available to call and talk to someone. very sad because used to be one of my favorites and probably will not try again.“

“I’m a Trini living in Bronx and love to eat a good roti and I’ve have been going to Queens from
Bronx in search of it for years. I found this from a Google search and it’s near to where I live and I am 100% content! Nice big portion, lots of meat and SUPER tasty. This is my new home for roti in NYC hands down ?“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“Came in last week to try Haitian food for the first time. A coworker from Haiti recommended this restaurant specifically.I got the oxtail stew and it was amazing. Tender meat in a flavorful sauce. And it comes with a weeks worth of delicious rice and beans, Plantains and baked mac to boot.Stopped in today for the fried pork and it was the best food I've had in a long time. Love the spicy pikliz!The restaurant itself is small with a few tables but has an extremely warm welcoming feel. Staff are some of the friendliest people I've ever seen.“

“This is my go to for over a decacade! All my friends from carnivore to vegans love this spot 🥳. Vegetable plate, jerk chicken, oxtail, goat - all phenomenal😍“

“This is my go to place when I have a large group to entertain. Our server was great and very professional but very personable as well. I ordered a coconut mojito and it was literally a glass of ice with a drop of coconut and a sugar stick that had seen better days. I told our server it was terrible and I got another one it was still awful and I couldn't drink it. It was very disappointing since I've had them before and they were good. Our food was great and we celebrated my friend's birthday with a special dessert . They need a new bartender those drinks were terrible! I shouldn't had to pay for those drinks but I was charged anyway. I'll have to think twice about going back“

We will definitely be returning here when we visit again.“

“This was my first time trying their food. I had the Curry Chicken lunch and dumplings (they were tasty after I reheated them). The CC, sweet plantain and cabbage were good! But I don't know why Jamaican restaurants only give you a table spoon of cabbage 😁. The rice was okay but a little dry even with gravy. The serve J. was nice!“

And it came out to 19.50. when I tell u I tore that whole platter up! Lol everything was on point! Will definitely go back. Srry for no pic I ate it up. ?“

“I’ve purchased food from this restaurant a few times and I have no complaint about it. I ordered fried chicken with white rice and curry goat gravy with oxtail. The food was good. The chicken was a bit salty for my liking but the flavor was there and everything was cooked well. The price for that specific dish is also very reasonable. Would recommend.“

I looked all over for this soup when they were closed and nobody had like them it was disgusting heart breaking I'm feeling under weather and this soup brings me back to life!!!! I will buy this soup even if I was sick!!! Omg please keep this soup love love it !!!!

I'll visit againOh, i had the shrimp in red sauce yummy, the beans n rice were good. The service was okay a little scattered and a little long on some things but okay“

“I work in Midtown Manhattan and everyone in the company has tasted the cuisine of So Good Cuisine LLC... we licked our fingers with that seafood ham and chofan... wow how delicious, just remembering it is a pleasure to the palate... Since then we have ordered our dishes holidays with them.. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and look good with your guests.. they are super cordial and attentive to the details of the order… We went to the restaurant and it is nice and hygienic too.. It is decorated with love..“

“Clean, quiet. Good Caribbean food. No pepper, friendly if you know how to engage in conversation. Affordable, large portions. You have to try the corn bread with an oxtail dinner! Lunch specials are only $6. Been in Harlem for 12 years! Definitely deserves more recognition.“

“The best Dominican food in the area“

“The hot patties are very good! The Farmer, 👏“

“Fresh food, great prices, big portions.Empanadas anywhere in the BX are $2-$2.50. here they are $1. Everything here was priced more affordably compared to any of the other Dominican spots on 138th street and in the neighborhood. Big plates. Also, they cater to the blue collar crowd. Lunch food is ready by 9:30AM. Perfect lunch spot if you're a city worker, construction, etc.“

“First time going. It was late on the weekend. Everything is made fresh daily so there was a few things that they didn't have. We got the curry chicken and curry goat, also a few beef pies. Everything was fantastic. The portions were bigger than I expected. Very happy with this p place. Will go again, just earlier next time.“

“I love this Golden Crust, their food is always fresh and taste really good. I tried the oxtails...very good! Expensive but I treat myself. I tried the curry chicken...so good and the seasoning is great. I tried the macaroni and cheese...that is good. I tried the fried chicken...soo good!!“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

“**Review for Les Q**

I have been a loyal customer of Les Q for the past 4.5 years, and my experience has been consistently outstanding. The owner, Howie, truly sets this place apart with his warm hospitality and dedication to excellence. The staff at Les Q is equally amazing, always attentive and friendly, making every visit a pleasure.

The food at Les Q is consistently good, which is a rarity in many places. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you can always expect delicious, well-prepared dishes. The menu offers a great variety, and everything I've tried has been top-notch.

Overall, Les Q is a gem of a restaurant, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking good food. Kudos to Howie and his fantastic team for their exceptional service and culinary consistency!“

“Great food. Try the Doubles which are unbelievable, roti skin with curry (Curry Mango is something you never see anywhere) and get the tamarind based sauce. They have a large selections of unique sodas. The mother and daughter at the store were friendly. This place is better for take out or smaller group if dining in.

Kid-friendliness: The daughter asked my son about his age and chatted with him so they are caring towards children.“

“Pass the place all the time on my way to the Post Office and finally stopped in. Met Ray who took over in May and he was the nicest guy. Seems to have done a great job turning the place around compared to previous reviews. Food/service was great and very friendly. Give this place a shout if you’re in the area!“

“And then my brain said "wow".An "eff it" moment to...An "I've been missing out" experience. The food is amazing. I went heavy:- Jollof Rice, Salad (warm Cole Slaw) & Sweet Plantains with chicken- French Fries- Kelewele/Spicy chopped fried sweet plantains.I was blown away. If ellessdee were a flavor...That was my meal.Great change to the current options.“

“Wanted to take some time to show my appreciation. My family and I were very pleased with our selection of this establishment for our repast service for my mother. The owner was very accommodating in short notice. The buffet that was laid out was just what we ordered. Place was very clean and the service from the staff was amazing. Really can’t say enough about that part. From the picking up of finished plates, them coming around with multiple fruit options, opening up for us 20 mins early so we weren’t in the blazing sun, and the show of support in our time of grieving. Tonia thank you for going above and beyond. 5 stars for sure. Once again my family and I humbly thank you.“

“A nice little spot in Harlem for delicious Jamaican style patties. They taste even better between 2 pillow soft slices of Cocoa bread. Prices are fair and the ladies that work here are pleasant. Go have yourself a quick and delicious lunch and/or snack without breaking the bank!!!!!“

“Amazing food and super friendly service.“

“My experience has always been amazing, both in person and online. This is my favorite restaurant. Paul has been doing an amazing and excellent job. He takes his time to go to the limit in making sure his customers are happy and meals are prepared how we requested. They are trustworthy and I thank God I have somewhere I don’t have to ever be concerned about when ordering online. Keep up the good work PAUL….?????????????“
